Bajaj to Unveil a Small Car at the Delhi Auto Expo

Bajaj plans to showcase an 800cc small car to take on the TataNano and the market leader Maruti-Suzuki Alto. With an expected fuel economy of 30 km per liter, this car will surely dominate the small car segment in India.

December 24, 2011: India’s leading two-wheeler manufacturer, Bajaj Auto is planning to unveil the concept version of its much awaited, low cost small car at the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo. This 800cc car is set to enter the A-segment of small cars in India and is expected to take on the Tata Nano and the best-seller of the segment – the Maruti-Suzuki Alto.

The car is expected to be highly economical and fuel efficient and speculations are that the car will be unveiled on 3rd January, 2012. Ever since the launch of the Tata Nano a couple of years ago, Bajaj had indicated its plans to launch a low cost small car for the Indian masses. Now it is time that people will finally get a glimpse of the car very soon.

Bajaj has been in the development process of the car since quite some time now. Initially, Bajaj had discussions with the Nissan – Renault JV for collectively developing this car where Bajaj was to handle the design while the marketing and distribution of the car was to be taken care by Nissan – Renault.

The Bajaj small car is based on the company’s two-wheeler and three-wheeler platform and is reported to be highly fuel efficient with its mileage expected to be more than 30 km per liter. Consumers and competitors will both have to watch out for this car as the fuel economy itself can become its selling point. With the peaking petrol prices, fuel efficiency plays an important role while deciding on buying a car, especially in the A-segment small cars in India.

I am a first persion for interested for buying bajaj car lite so my request to “shri bajaj ji” for give me fist car key in your launching ceremony in India. we are very hopefull for first car in A segment

It certainly appears to be a great car but we need to watch it for some time after its launch as the performance on the road matters a lot. The Nano has hugely improved and this car will have good competition as the Nano is the pioneer in this segment and has world fame.

I am a retired HCL (Hinduatan Copper Limited) Sr. Purchase office and want to purchase the car. Kindly let me know the present price in Jharkhand Jamshedpur. As the car is suitable for small family like me.

Bajaj is proudly presenting the first small car. If it is below 1lakh then it is ok! Otherwise the same thing the TATA people anounced of 1lakh car, and now the car is available only of 1.70lakhs and full option 2.70 onroad price, it is fully a pathetic condition.I Expect the great things that BAJAJ people will do good for the poor people in India. THE DREAM OF TATA EACH FAMILY HAVE ONE CAR —–IS GOING TO FULFIL BY THE BAJAJ.
